Hello, my name is Kimberly Quinlan and this is your anxiety toolkit podcast.

Thank you so much for joining us again. I am so thrilled to hear

the feedback and thank you so much to those who left reviews. I am just so grateful.

And speaking of gratitude, we are going into the Thanksgiving weekend. And I've been doing a lot of

reflecting and I just want to say again, like how grateful I am for all you guys who give me

your feedback on what works for you, what doesn't work for you. I just love having a place to sit down

and share with you what I'm feeling and what's going on and hopefully giving you some tools on what is

helpful. And, you know, I hope it's helping you, but all I can say is just speaking out and talking

about mental health and talking about wellness it I think it just makes a safe place for me

because I think once we talk about it it takes away all of that judgment and it takes away all

the shame and it makes it just that

this is a place where we meet and we do it together.

So I'm so incredibly grateful and I love to hear any feedback that you have.

So this week, you may actually, before I move on, you may actually notice that I'm bringing out

podcasts more regularly because I'm really trying to sit down and be with my people,

you guys, more often. I just find it so beneficial for myself and I, it feels right. So I'm going to try to do that in

2018. I'm going to try my very best to be more consistent with a more weekly or by

monthly podcast than the monthly that we have been doing. So this week, my goal was to talk about willingness.

Now, I talk about willingness in many of the podcasts, but we are going into the holiday season,

and this is where all of our old stuff comes out. We regress. We, we struggle. I mean, when you go out

into your family home, it does bring up a lot. And sometimes there's nothing you can do

except just get through and be as compassionate and apply as much self-care as you can.
